This is the winery’s top Bordeaux blend, with all five grapes, and from top vineyards like Stagecoach, Morisoli and Monte Rosso.

And this 2021 is the top-rated Papillon ever on CellarTracker.

Decanter also rates it equal to the Mercury Head as the top Orin Swift wine ever, saying:

A proprietary red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, and Petit Verdot aged 13 months in 44% new French oak. This is a powerful wine. Very robust tannins with immaculate grip and a host of palate arresting tannins that do resolve and give way to red and blackberry fruit notes. Serve it at cellar temperature in large Bordeaux stems after an hour's worth of decanting, and it will reveal more dark berry fruits and spices with better integration of its toasted cedarwood notes, framed by plenty of ripe acidity and these long beams of cedar tannins.
